Tx,

Any of the big (read that as 1/4 scale cubs)

Off the top of my head for a gas engine that size would be the Great Planes Super Stearman bipe. Most everyone is putting a Zenoah G26 on them because when you use the recommended glow einge (OS120FS) you need 18oz of weight in the nose. So if you can keep that engine in the 50 to 60 ounce range then you have a perfect match and a very scale looking plane but throttle management is an absolute must. Most of them flying with the G26 only need 1/2 throttle for takeoff and 1/3 throttle for scale like flight.

Great Planes also has the military version of the Stearman, Saw it in Toledo bit have not heard much about it and what you need to do to get it balanced. Both are very nice looking and pics do not do them justice, you have to really see one in person to see just how beuatiful a plane they really are.

I am almost done with the Super Stearman and what a stunner it is.

Aeroworks has an scale Ultimate Bipe that would also be just about perfect for that gas engine. I just do not remember the exact percentagfe at this moment.

Now as far as gas versus glow, the initial outlay of funds will be higher, but if you are like me and fly almost every day and at least 4 flights per day, you will recope the cost in fuel savings pretty quickly. Last year I spent a little over $1700.00 in glow fuel alone.
